Dear all,

Host OS: Windows 10
Guest OS Suse 10 SP4
Virtualization: Virtualbox 5.1.12r112440

I’ve already installed Suse 10 SP 4 in virtualbox. When I try to install readline-devel, it gives me the following error:

suse10sp4-10205-12102:~ # zypper install readline-devel

readline is already installed

suse10sp4-10205-12102:~ # rpm -qa readline
readline-5.1-24.26.20

Whats should I do to install readline-devel?

While I understand that most likely Suse10 is already out of support, but since my customer is still in Suse 10, I’ve to simulate according to their specifications.

thanks a lot!

Hi
Try rpm to install rather than zypper, maybe the rpm database needs a clean as well;

rpm --rebuilddb

Dear malcom,

when I try to install by rpm the following pops up

suse10sp4-10205-12102:~/download/readline-devel # df

what should I do to resolve the segmentation fault error?

thanks a lot!

Hi
Not sure why your seeing that, could be SLES 10 SP4 being old and doesn’t like something with virtualbox.

If you boot to init 1 and run a filesystem check on / and /boot.

Run df through gdb may provide further info;

gdb df
...
....
......
(gdb) run <press enter>
